Understand Women?
As a guy, the Herculean task of understanding what's going on inside a woman's mind eluded me. I was raised in the 80s, a decade that had seen both the macho men from the 50s and the New Age guys from the 60s and 70s. Some of my friends chose to be gay, some chose to put up a front of masculine invincibility. My dad was something else, even though I don't think he'd ever put it into words, but he exudes an aura of confidence that just won't be reduced to the mainstream male stereotypes.
Being a man isn't as easy as it used to be. Men are simple, want simple things and tend to be very logical and mental. We do what we believe we're supposed to. The role of men in society got harder and harder to sort out over the last few decades, but, in spite of that, when that role is defined, all a man has to do is follow it. Guys are easy to understand.
Girls, on the other hand, are like little magical butterflies flying around from here to there and everywhere, spreading their 10ness left and right. Magical and inscrutable beings that live in a realm always to remain unknown to men.
They'll say the weirdest shit and act crazy for no apparent reason. We've all been there.
Complaining about it won't solve, ok? Taking whatever happens to the letter will make you crazy. Ignoring it and pretending it didn't happen will make she think you don't love her. Nothing seems to make sense and everything is backwards in a woman's little universe. A woman is a storm. And then a sunny bucolic autumn afternoon. And then a boring Monday night. Usually that happens in quick succession, between 4pm and 5pm. Women are motion and emotion and all that. That's precisely what's attractive about them, and anything less than that would be a disservice to their fullness.
A man's role is to both understand and embrace this with all of his heart. Understanding would never live up to what a woman is all about.
